(Chapter 6: Capturing Gorgo)
A few weeks had passed ever since the events in West Virginia, Andy Williams was lucky to survive as the second bullet just barely grazed a vital organ within his body. Kaiyo Hanson was still at large somewhere in the world, the rest of the colonel squadron was at Outpost 54.
The Red Bamboo was already making efforts on killing Gorgo, plans were being made. Due to the company being funded by the government, top secret organizations around the world were sending them titan killing weaponry, or weapons that had the potential to kill titans. The blueprints for MechaGodzilla, Jet Jaguar, and the Mechs that were being made at the GDF Base in what was once Boston, all came from Area 51.
The weapon that would be used to kill Gorgo, came from another military base quite similar to Area 51, somewhere within the Arctic. It was a finished design of the Oxygen Destroyer, the completed version of the prototype in which stopped Godzilla's heart in 2019.
Reading these blueprints gave Kaiyo a vicious smile across his lips, if only he knew where the King of the Monsters lived right now, he would put an end to his reign and then all of the titans would bow to humanity. Taking out Godzilla would make the titans fear humanity, or so he had hoped. Taking out a monster that looks similar would be equally as good in the jap's eyes.
The Red Bamboo had moved their encampment once again, taking up shelter in the ruins of the destroyed Monarch outpost in which used to contain Titanus Behemoth. Hundreds of the organization had gathered outside of the camp, Kaiyo Hanson stood on a podium in which overlooked them all. An english to japanese translator stood beside him.
"Ladies and gentleman of my fine Red Bamboo organization, we have received the power to eliminate the titans from the face of this planet. We are getting funded more and more by the governments and high secret military bases, these things shouldn't be allowed to exist on our Earth. This planet was made for us, not them. These idiotic fools at Monarch want to kiss their ass and suck their cocks, bowing to them just like we did upon millions of years ago. With the power humanity contains these times, the titans will bow to us. If something can be killed, don't bow to it. Why should we let them monsters overrule us? It is time, I call upon all of you to act. It is our time to give penance. For the glory of Japan, the glory of Earth, the glory of God, and to the glory of humankind. We will slay the titans one by one!"
The Red Bamboo cheered all around him in support of wiping out the titans, Kaiyo was hellbent on bringing them down one by one. Nothing could stop him, if Monarch failed three times, arguably nothing could.
"Gorgo has been terrorizing old mexico for years now, the best place to end his life. Would be somewhere within New Mexico, it makes perfect sense. A public execution of a titan would have the eyes of the world on the Red Bamboo, and we will never be stopped. If the world sides with us, Monarch and any other organization that dares defy us, will be stomped into the ground."
(Outpost 54)
Vergil sat within his dorm, still angry at himself for ruining everything in West Virginia, it could've been their only chance at stopping Kaiyo Hanson from executing his plan to wipe out all of the titans. He knew everyone was still upset with him, except Brayden Snow, his brother.
Brayden walked in on Vergil as he sat on his bed, he saw the defeated, yet enraged look on the face of his younger brother. He hadn't been with the G-Team for long, he was still relatively new to the whole experience of being in the colonel squadron.
"What's wrong, brother?" He asked Vergil, standing in the doorway within the silent room. All of the lights were out, the only way the room was partially lit was because of the bright lights on the outside of the facility.
"Everything, that's what is wrong. I am not so sure about this company any more, man, we've been betrayed and we've lost so many battles already. There isn't really a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel."
"I already said that we would find a way out, if we cannot run, walk, if we cannot walk, we can always crawl. If we can't even crawl, we will fly. The good Lord won't allow this to happen, it just can't be this way."
"Then why aren't we doing so well right now? Jerome Hunter is gone, nobody has a clue of where he went. Earth's Rightful Rulers are staying relatively quiet, we don't have a damn idea of what they are doing. Kaiyo Hanson has escaped and is getting way too close to accomplishing his plans. I fucked up what could've been our only chance at finally stopping him, and now everyone is angry at me."
"Look, Vergil. I don't care if all of our allies are destroyed, if we two are the only ones to keep things under total control, so be it. I am the mastermind behind the GDF, a company that has been making leaps and bounds in attempts to secure our future and the good of humanity. If Monarch falls, we still are good, if the GDF falls, that is when we should worry. Don't be afraid, nothing has truly been destroyed yet."
"Dammit Brayden, how will I know that you won't betray me? How will I know that anyone that we both know and love won't betray us?"
"Because we've been all united in these trying times, Laura and Kenny lost Barnes, their mentor. Andy Williams and Germaine Noyala are currently on the shelf, when our numbers are dwindling bit by bit just like this, we tend to get stronger. We are like hydra, remove our heads and we become stronger."
"The whole world's been demonizing us, the ERR and the Red Bamboo have manipulated all of them into trying to destroy us."
"Fuck the world, Vergil. If anything, the world should fear us. We've got everything under control, including them titans. If they pissed us off, Godzilla will always be on our side."
"Not always, Brayden. Godzilla's not always so sentimental towards us, he's only ever shown love when around Mothra."
"You just put an image in my head that I will want to forget within the next twenty four hours."
"Sorry."
"No, that's fine."
Brayden and Vergil stood there in the dark silence awkwardly, chuckling to themselves after Vergil's joke about Godzilla and Mothra.
"So, where do we go from here?" Vergil asked, deciding to break the awkward silence.
"We are awaiting commands from General Brody, we've been silent ever since WV. Colonels have been training their asses off, so have I. Laura and Kenny want Kaiyo dead on the ground, others just want him arrested and contained." His brother answered.
"Which do you prefer?"
"I want that crazy son of a bitch dead, no telling what that psycho could be up to."
Vergil chuckled and so did brother Brayden. The young colonel started to think of ways to track down Kaiyo and his henchmen.
"How will we know what to do, have we been down into Isla De Mara any time as of recently? I have been suspended from the colonel squadron ever since West Virginia."
"Well, we've been down on that island a few times. Monitoring what has been going on, they seem to have vanished. Lord knows how they can just leave where they were in such a small amount of time, it is like they took a shortcut somehow."
"A shortcut?" Vergil asked.
"Yeah, if Rodan was able to live in that volcano and people worshiped him several thousands of years ago in that same spot, maybe even millions of years ago. The Red Bamboo could have found a hollow earth tunnel and roamed through it." Brayden answered.
"A whole ass military organization roaming through the hollow earth? Why can't we do that? It must be several times faster than going around the mountain."
"We don't go through the hollow earth due to how unsafe it is, who knows if ancient humanoid beings still live within the depths of the Earth? Who knows if other titans and megafauna roam around in deeper pockets of the Earth? You saw what happened in Oakland, that horned monster came from out of the ground and beat the living shit out of those other two within seconds. That damn thing could probably give Godzilla a run for his money if he wanted to."
"Yeah, but we don't have to travel in deeper pockets. We can still stay relatively close to the surface."
"You never know, Vergil. So many other titans have been showing their heads ever since the great awakening back in 2019, some titans Monarch hasn't even studied or contained. Some of these new titans are more dangerous than others, and we don't even know their intentions yet."
Suddenly the intercom began to buzz, someone's voice would be coming through soon.
"All G-Team colonel and higher ranking personnel, report to the control room immediately!" Ford Brody's voice was heard shouting through the microphone.
The colonels and higher ranking staff rushed to the control room, ready for a fight if one would be needed. Ford Brody was already in there, since Vergil Snow was still suspended, he sat in his dorms alone as his brother went to see what was up.
As the colonel squadron and other high ranking officers entered the control room, video footage was being displayed on a large screen within the room next to the blast doors. They all gazed up at the screen, it was security camera footage of the waters close to Isla De Mara. Red Bamboo fighter jets dove in and dropped bomb after bomb into the waters for some unknown reason.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Red Bamboo terrorist group have been dropping these bombs repeatedly into the waters of Isla De Mara close to the shores, the intentions are right now, unknown, but it is best if we all get locked and loade-" Ford's sentence was cut off when the head of Gorgo emerged from the waters, snarling at the jets that bombarded the shore with their bombs.
"What the hell…?" Kenny asked himself, wondering why the bad guys were trying to stop this titan or kill it.
"So are they on our side now or what?" Dr. Stanton asked.
"I don't know, but I know for one thing, Kaiyo Hanson hates us. This is certainly not good intentions whatsoever, they are potentially trying to lure it away." Ren Serizawa explained, theorizing what the vicious terrorist organization was trying to do.
"You're probably right." Laura said, sounding serious as a bomb struck Gorgo right on the face within the screen. The monster growled in visible pain.
Suddenly, a blinding flash engulfed the screen. Causing everyone to look away for a moment, when they all looked back. Gorgo had a large scorch mark on his upper chest/neck area, a maser had fired at him.
"Whoa! Where the hell did they get those maser cannons from?" Alan Haas screamed in shock, not expecting the G-Team's own weapon to be used against the monster from a rival organization.
"When did those bastards have time to steal it?" Kenny asked, sounding equally confused.
"So first those assholes betray us, kill Jackson Barnes, critically and damn near lethally wound one of our colonels. Now they stole from us?" Laura growled in anger.
"Let's move, right now." Ford said, rushing down the hall to the landing pads. The colonel squadron would be back in action again via an osprey.
(Isla De Mara)
"Tora, tora, tora!" Kaiyo screamed out with a wicked laugh, his grandfather was one of the original pilots in which had bombed Pearl Harbor all of those years ago, now another generation was bombing something of peace once again, filling the crazed jap with a ruthless satisfaction.
Gorgo let out another pained roar as several more bombs burst on the top of his head and back, shattering a few of his spines in the process. He reached up and managed to swat one of the fighter jets from out of the sky, letting out an enraged growl of determination.
Kaiyo growled in anger as he saw two of his pilots go sailing to the ground, bullets and bombs, and rockets alike were absolutely hammering the saurian beast almost at a rapid fire pace. He could see the maser cannon getting reloaded with energy. His angry snarl curved into another sadistic smile as the cannon fired once more, in the same spot that the beast was struck earlier.
Gorgo lurched forward, almost collapsing into the sands on the shore from the second maser bolt that struck his burnt body. Blood soaked his back from his tiny spines shattering and breaking off, he reared his head back and let out a panicked cry into the air. Calling for help, calling for his mother…
Until his mother arrived, he would keep fighting with everything he had, or until he just gave out. He lunged upwards and managed to snag around three fighter jets within his jaws, each of them blowing up at the same time when the maw of the reptilian monster clamped around them.
"Fuck you!" Kaiyo shouted as he did a u-turn within the air, unleashing a missile from his fighter jet, spiralling right into the eye of the beast, causing it to burst. Gorgo let out a cry of pain as his right eye burst into a large blood clot, slamming onto the ground and crushing some military grade vehicles in which were stolen by the Red Bamboo.
"Oh come on Kaiyo, enough. That thing is just a child!" A Red Bamboo terrorist pleaded, trying to reason with their wicked leader.
"That thing may be a fucking child, but he is not like us. He is not our kind! I couldn't care less what age any titan is, they need to be wiped from the Earth. All of them, even the smallest ones!" Kaiyo screamed in fury as he saw Gorgo weakly paw at his bloody socket in which contained his right eye.
A large jet roared in behind Gorgo, dropping down a large net over his head, it began to shock and electrocute him with several volts, almost as powerful as Ghidorah's gravity beams. The beast let out a scream of agony, he could feel the blood within his eye socket practically boiling. He clawed and bit at the large electric net, but it was overpowering him.
"Take his knees!" Kaiyo ordered the maser cannons far below him, they took aim at Gorgo's knees as they were instructed to do so. The operators within the cannon zoomed in and fired in unison while the saurian monster was temporarily distracted by pain.
Gorgo let out an even louder cry of agony as he fell forward onto the sands with an explosive thud, sending a large wave out and onto the cannons, destroying them and taking a few RB terrorists with them.
Now he couldn't walk, he had been paralyzed from the legs down thanks to this dirty shot to his knees. He had to crawl, and that put him in even more danger. Gorgo was entangled within the electric net that continued to pump thousands upon thousands of volts into his body, he finally managed to tear a hole into the net by clamping his jaws around it.
The large jet swooped in on Gorgo once again, and another cannon rolled up to Gorgo. Fifty feet away from his large face, taking aim at his mouth as he let out a roar of defiance. It was the only thing Gorgo could really do now, a large white blanket was dropped from the jet and it covered up the beast as he thrashed around in the electric net.
Now the beast was blinded as he continued to helplessly writhe around, he couldn't see through the large heavy blanket in which had been dropped on him. Then he couldn't breathe, the cannon out in his front was firing a suffocating gas directly into his mouth, it wouldn't kill Gorgo, but it would knock him out cold.
The beast gagged and wretched, coughing out blood even as it fought for air. It was already hard enough for him to breathe thanks to the suffocating weight of the massive blanket and his body being wracked with loads of pain from the electric net. His vision began to get blurry as his struggles began to cease ever so slowly, Kaiyo Hanson watched in delight.
"Alright, let's take this fucker over to New Mexico. Execute this son of a bitch!"
The large jet began to descend upon Gorgo's downed body, completely wrapped up in the heavy blanket and electric net, the volts were so strong that they practically burnt away the blanket, but Gorgo was already knocked out. A large claw slowly descended from the bottom of the jet and clamped around the beast with a loud, droning buzz.
The underside of the jet roared to life as the boosters came on, pushing the jet upwards and then forwards as boosters on the back boomed to life too. The next stop would be to New Mexico, it wasn't going to be a good time for it though. As a big mama was on her way to save her young Gorgo, Ogra was coming and New Mexico was in for one hell of a time…
